Description

@mark-petersen

An unphysical warming to 60C on the Indonesian coast occurs in the WC14 stand-alone spin-up using compass/master 2270c03, even after fixing the Coriolis bug noted in #304. This can be seen with:

compass/ocean/tests/global_ocean/init/namelist.init
-config_expand_sphere = .false.
+config_expand_sphere = .true.

compass list|grep WC14
  95: ocean/global_ocean/WC14/mesh
  96: ocean/global_ocean/WC14/PHC/init
  97: ocean/global_ocean/WC14/PHC/performance_test
  98: ocean/global_ocean/WC14/PHC/dynamic_adjustment

compass setup -f Config_dir/e3sm_master -w $DIR -n 95 96 97 98

After running these steps on grizzly with load_dev_compass_1.0.0_grizzly_gnu_mvapich.sh, the error can be seen here:

It reaches 60C by day 25 of the simulation.
